Chapter 196 West Tour
"It's just a normal pregnancy reaction, everything about the fetus is normal, so you don't have to worry about it." In the Cuifang Hall, the old doctor spoke with a Guanzhong accent, respectfully comforting Concubine Shu Geng.

Geng's jade hands gently caressed her belly, and her beautiful face exuded a layer of maternal brilliance. Hearing his words, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

There was an indescribable tenderness in the tone, and there was a hint of anxiety and depression in his expression.

Seeing this, the old doctor stood up, took a step back, and said: "The old man will prescribe another anti-fetal medicine, and the lady only needs to live and support the fetus as usual."

"I'm sorry for the doctor Hu." Geng recovered his senses and smiled at the old doctor.

"The old man retire."

"Send the imperial physician." Geng ordered to a maidservant.

There is Cuifang Garden in Cuifang Palace, where the wind of late spring is exceptionally warm. With the support of maidservants, Geng walked in the garden path.The surrounding area is full of vitality, but Geng's face is always a little sad.Stopping to sit in the pavilion, he couldn't help touching his cheek with his hand, the feeling of being fat was obvious.

"Hey" looks more bitter.

Gunn has been pregnant for eight months, her belly is already round, her body is also slightly fatter, and her breasts are obviously much bigger. Liu Chengyou has felt it before, and the feeling is even worse than before.It's a pity that Geng's mood is getting more and more gloomy and unhappy.

In the final analysis, I still felt left out.One must know that even when Liu Chengyou favored Geng Shi back then, he didn't have much time to share with you and me, let alone marrying a queen and accepting a noble concubine now, plus she is inconvenient.

Geng's temperament is soft and weak, he is calm and considerate, but he is also a little sensitive and fragile. Although he doesn't compete with others to flatter Liu Chengyou and add chaos to Liu Chengyou's harem, he can't help secretly pitying him.

"Lady." A servant ran from the garden to the pavilion.

Geng Shi came out of the mood of resentment, looked at the waiter, and asked softly: "Is Yu Jia leaving?"

The servant nodded, panting slightly: "Your driver has passed the Hongqiao, and is patrolling west."

Geng was stunned for a while, before he said: "The Queen and Concubine Gao are really accompanying you?"

"Yes."

Hearing and answering, Geng was silent for a while, his face was a little sad, and his eyes slowly turned red.

"Miss is pregnant, it is inconvenient to travel and travel, and the officials care about your body. Otherwise, the officials will definitely bring your wife." Seeing Geng's relatives, a maid next to her seemed to see her state of mind , could not help but comfort.

"I know." Geng replied softly, and his mood did not improve.

"Speak up!" On the side, an old woman scolded the maid, and then said to Geng in a warm voice: "My lady, don't think too much, the official family is busy with state affairs, and I don't have time to take care of the harem. To the empress and concubine, It's not a special pet. You are pregnant now, taking good care of your body, and giving birth to a son for the official is the most important thing. If the official's house is on tour, you may go to the Hall of Renming to accompany the Queen Mother, and be filial to the former."

Hearing what the old woman said, Geng came back to his senses, looked at her, and the resentment on his face faded a lot.After thinking about it, he said, "I see. Thank you Granny Li for your guidance."

This old woman was the old lady who was sent by the Li family to serve Liu Chengyou before. After entering Tokyo, she was called back to the Hall of Renming and became the Shang Palace.After Geng became pregnant, because of her familiarity, she was sent to Geng's side to take care of her.

Seeing Geng's recovery, Granny Li responded with a smile, feeling a little relieved.Does she know that if Geng Shi is always so depressed, he will not be friendly to the dragon in his belly?
His strengths are deep in the palace, and he doesn't know the situation of the people. Liu Chengyou used this as an excuse to make the decision to "tour the west".As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately opposed by the courtiers headed by Yang Bin.After Liu Chengyou ascended the throne, Yang Bin kept a low profile for a while, but after a period of time, he found that Liu Chengyou was devoted to regulating the country and the people's livelihood, and raised his head again, and began to "oppose" Liu Chengyou.

However, most of the courtiers are on Yang Bin's side this time. They feel that the country is settled, and the emperor is the first to ascend Chenji, so he should sit in Tokyo to stabilize the world.It is also hindered by the restlessness in the four surroundings and the restlessness in the universe.There are a lot of reasons, but in the final analysis, I still feel that the emperor Liu Chengyou is a little restless.

However, these reasons are the motivation for Liu Chengyou's west tour.After all, what he heard was a bit false. Taking advantage of the initial stabilization of the current situation, Liu Chengyou decided to take a look at the situation of the people in person.His will was firm, and the courtiers couldn't stop him at all.

Among the chancellors, Su Fengji and Feng Dao accompanied him, while the rest were still headed by Yang Bin, with Guo Wei as his assistant in charge of state affairs, and the Longqi army accompanying him as escorts.

Liu Chengyou emphasized that the royal tour on the west, everything is simple, without fanfare, and does not want to waste money and people, except for the necessary guards of honor and accompanying guards, there is almost nothing grandiose.Even the queen and concubine Gao who were accompanying were almost "carrying bags" with them.

Although he was going west, Liu Chengyou didn't plan to go far. The farthest was Luoyang, Xijing, and he focused on checking the conditions of the states and counties between the two capitals.

Nowadays, the country is sparsely populated, the land is barren, the economy is depressed, the government is slack, and the officials are corrupt.Liu Chengyou's trip was mainly to observe the people's sentiments, appease the people, encourage production, and develop the economy.At the same time, it also showed the existence of his new emperor, and attracted a lot of attention.

Thousands of horses and horses drove slowly westward, and Liu Chengyou looked quite comfortable while drinking tea and reading a book in the big car.It's just that during the journey, it kept shaking, and the farther away from Tokyo, the stronger the shaking, even if Yujia had undergone "shock-absorbing" measures, it was a bit uncomfortable.

Opening the curtain of the car and looking outside, the road is very bad, full of potholes, as if it has not been rested for many years.

"The road must be built! The road must be built!" During the bumps, Liu Chengyou solemnly made up his mind.

However, a little helplessness soon appeared on the face. Given the current national conditions, there is more than enough energy, and food and clothing are problems for the people. Where can I get the manpower and material resources to carry out "infrastructure".

It's late spring, on the westbound road, on the plains along the way, you can already see some reclaimed land, mainly wheat and rice, and the greenery is not too strong, but Liu Chengyou is happy to see it.It's hard to say about other places, but farming in Kinki is obviously not slack.

After leaving Kaifeng, Liu Chengyou's first order was that it is strictly forbidden to trample on the fields and destroy the crops and seedlings. Anyone who violates the law will be beheaded.

Then, almost slapping Liu Chengyou in the face, shortly after the ban was issued, several knights under Shi Hongzhao's command rushed into the people's fields because of their horses, and were carried out by Ma Quanyi, Marquis of Yu, the capital of the camp.Shi Hongzhao still wanted to defend, but those people were his confidantes, and the trouble came to Liu Chengyou's side.It is impossible not to punish or lightly punish, otherwise, what is the prestige of Liu Chengyou, the emperor?

The result is naturally doomed, a few people, all beheaded, passed on to the first camp, as a warning to others.Not only that, those horses were all good horses, and they were killed together to show the emperor's determination to attach importance to farming and maintain the nursery.

Now, everyone in the camp, from the ministers and generals to the soldiers and grooms, is on alert. The emperor's decree is not a joke, it is really going to be beheaded, and even Shi Du's commander can't keep it.Shi Hongzhao was very angry about Liu Chengyou's killing of his subordinates, and complained in private, which basically reached Liu Chengyou's ears in the fastest time.

"Officials, Zhongmu County is here!"

He only took a nap on the Yujia for a while, and when he woke up, the sun was setting in the west.Zhongmu County is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, which is very close to Tokyo, with a straight-line distance of less than sixty miles.
